Stream Processing Frameworks

Stream processing deals with data that arrives continuously, in real-time. Think of it as an endless flow of events, like sensor readings, financial transactions, or user clicks.

Unlike batch processing, which handles large blocks of historical data at once, stream processing processes data immediately as it's generated. This enables instant insights and reactions.

Immediate data processing is crucial for many modern applications:

• Fraud Detection: Identify suspicious transactions as they happen.
• Live Dashboards: Display up-to-the-minute business metrics.
• Anomaly Detection: Spot unusual patterns in security logs or sensor data instantly.
• Personalized Experiences: Adapt recommendations based on current user behavior.
